Hm... I'm pretty much completely bilingual. In that I know swedish and english almost as equally well. Although my grammar when writing or speaking is a bit better in swedish.
My father is from the US and I went to a gradeschool where 80% of classes were taught in english. (Us kids spoke swedish to each other most of the time though). The highschool I went to was a "normal" one though and everything was in swedish so I lost a lot of the english grammar knowledge I used to have.
When it comes to speaking I'm definately better at swedish, in english I often have to pause and search my mind a while for the right word. And I probably do have a hint of a swedish accent. We'll see if I ever get the courage to post a video on here where I talk.
I wouldn't want everyone to start speaking swedish. It wouldn't make things easier, in fact it would in some areas make things a lot harder. For instance, when writing certain types of texts the english language flows much more naturally in my opinion, and doesn't come out as .... hard or... shall I say... clumsy as the same words would in swedish. Whereas in other cases it could be the complete opposite.
Have you had moments when writing in english where you felt the language wasn't "right"? Like you needed something else, with a different build up - a different melody?
man flu.
What the hells "mwarp" mean anyway?
did you draw that masterpiece on a pizza base board?
